So pretty that guys craned their necks at her.
  One was even so brave
  As to take out and wave
The distinguishing mark of his sex at her.

What are tags?
Tags, sometimes called “folksonomies,” are words that describe or categorize a poem, like “20th century modernism” or “Italian sonnet”. Tags can help you find poems that have something in common, based on how other people classify them.
